A sturdy pretty late summer plant with elegant pink upright flowers. I have been growing this in a zone 3-4 region, and have divided it several times over the past three years.

"Here in Washington we call this Turtlehead. It grows in clay soil in partial shade and requires
no maintenance from me. I planted it several years ago, and it comes back bigger and better every year. I have watched hummingbirds go from flower to flower drinking its nectar. It is very eyecatching; I love this plant!"

Hardiness zone 9. Grows really well in a moist, fairly shady part of our garden. Provides much needed late season colour. Divides well and has grown from collected seed which had striated naturally in the seed pod on the plant over winter.
